Now, following advocacy by WCW and veterans’ groups, a bipartisan request from over 50 federal lawmakers led by Reps. Dave Brat (R-VA) and Dina Titus (D-NV), and leadership from VA spending panel leader Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, the House of Representatives has voted once again to extend the defund and restrictions on VA’s “maximum pain” tests and other agency experiments on dogs and puppies. Congress is also requiring a report from the VA on its dog experimentation program. You can read more about the progress at ConnectingVets.com.

I'm glad to hear about this short-term ban on cruel puppy and dog experiments at the @DeptVetAffairs, but we need to make this permanent. That's why I'm proud to co-sponsor the bipartisan PUPPERS Act. https://t.co/uBFfxm0zy6

It’s about time. This isn’t the only VA facility that is performing these useless tests and committing animal cruelty. Please defund all the VA facilities that are involved in this waste of taxpayers’ money that has been going on for years..
